iSpidr.com - A New Way To Be Connected

A new iPhone app that can be procured at the AppStore, iSpidr will enable you to be connected with people who are not included in your contact list, but who are in your physical proximity. Using this app, you can strike up a conversation with someone who is sitting next to in a pub, or someone who works in the same building that you.

Spidrs see the display names and the current status of each other, alongside a picture that can be used to spot each other easily. Note that those who use the system are never provided personally identifiable information like a phone number or an e-mail address – all that is actually displayed is the screen name and the abovementioned picture for identifying purposes.

Messaging options include the ability to send important messages in red (named “alerts” in the site’s parlance), and there is also an event-creation capability at play. Coming back to the alerts, you can subscribe and unsubscribe as you see fit, and receive a daily digest for you to delve upon.

“SPIDR helps you connect with people who could be sitting next to you in a coffee shop or pub or go to the same school or work in the same building as you do. Spidr helps you strike conversations with people who are not in you contact list but share physical space with you.”

Those who are looking fro new ways of meeting up with others will find it worth trying out at least once.

What steps are taken to ensure the whole experience will be a safe and secure one?
